Definitions
- This invention relates to paper products wound into a spiral to form a generally cylindrical shape, and more particularly to such paper products which are provided with indicia.
- Dispensable products are well known in the art. Dispensable products include any product, provided in sheet form and from which a portion can be removed for ultimate use by the consumer. Dispensable products include, but are not limited to nonwoven wipes, dryer-added fabric softeners, notebook paper, wet wipes, food wrap and tissue.
- Tissue products are well known in the art. Tissue products may be used as facial tissue, bath tissue, paper toweling, napkins, placemats, etc. The tissue products are often spiral wound, particularly when used for bath tissue or paper towel products. However, this invention is applicable to any spiral wound product. Other and nonlimiting types of spiral wound products include dryer- added fabric softeners, nonwoven wipes, and pressure-activatable sealing wrap. Tissue products are also dispensed from a cut-and-stack configuration, particularly when used for facial tissue or table napkins. Cut-and-stack products may be dispensed from a package wherein one tissue product is successfully removed through a dispensing aperture. The packages are typically provided with aesthetically pleasing indicia in a variety of formats. The consumers then select the aesthetically pleasing indicia which most closely aligns with their personal tastes and/or decor.
- the dispensable product is typically divided into a plurality of individual sheets by transverse perforations. One or more sheets is removed from the roll. Each sheet defines an XY plane and a Z-direction orthogonal to the XY plane.
- the XY plane contains the printed indicia according to the prior art.
- the indicia may be provided to improve the aesthetics of the product, provide instructions to the user, etc.
- the indicia are applied by printing ink onto the substrate.

If desired, the indicia 24 may be registered with perforations or drop off cuts, as disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. patent 5,802,974 issued Sept. 8, 1998 to McNeil. The disclosures of the three aforementioned patents are incorporated herein by reference.
- Preferred aesthetic indicia 24, particularly applicable to printing includes inks, as are well known in the art. Any commercially available ink suitable for epidermal contact and contact with food may be used for the aesthetic indicia 24 of the present invention. If desired, the inks may fluoresce or glow in the dark.
- Printing may be accomplished as follows.
- the individual rolls are fed down a conveyor in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis LA of the product 10.
- a print roll, rotatable about an axis perpendicular to both the longitudinal axis LA of the spiral wound product 10 and to the machine direction is provided for each end 20 of the product 10 desired to be printed.
- the conveyor is horizontally oriented, the longitudinal axis LA of the paper product 10 is coincident the machine direction.
- the print roll is therefore rotatable about a vertical axis.
- the print roll is phased so that the indicia 24 are applied from the print roll to the ends 20 of the product 10.
- the print roll may be phased so that there is one repeat per flight of product 10 in the feed conveyor.
- the print roll may provide for a plurality of patterns in each revolution, but apply only a single pattern to each end 20 of the paper product 10.

- the indicia 24 comprise a color contrasting with the substrate 12, so that the indicia 24 are easily visible at a distance.
- Suitable indicia 24 include any aesthetically pleasing pattern such as geometric shapes of Fig. 1 , flowers, birds, any animals, or spiral patterns, holiday themes, seasonal themes, cartoons, advertising, trademarks, instructions for use, etc.
- the ends 20 of the product 10 may be completely coated with the indicia 24 to present a solid color different from that of the substrate 12 not having indicia 24.
- the indicia 24 on the ends 20 of the paper product 10, it may be unnecessary to provide indicia 24 on the XY surface of the product 10. This allows for considerable conservation of ink reducing the aforementioned issues associated with having excessive amounts of ink printed on the XY surface of the substrate 12.
- the XY surface of the substrate 12 may also be printed with ink or have other indicia 24 disposed thereon. If indicia 24 are applied to the XY surface of the substrate 12, preferably such indicia 24 are aesthetically coordinated with the indicia 24 disposed on at least one end 20 of the spiral wound product 10.
- the end 20 of the paper product 10 could have vines and branches while the XY surface could have flowers and berries, the ends 20 of the product 10 could have small animals while the XY surface could have large animals, the ends 20 of the product 10 could have birds while the XY surface could have butterflies, etc.
- the end 20 of the paper product 10 could have indicia 24 provided in a first color while the XY surface could have like indicia 24 provided in a second or other different color.
- the indicia 24 may be applied to either or both of the surfaces of the paper 20.
- the indicia 24 may cover all or part of the paper 20 and be applied in a continuous or discontinuous pattern.
- a single indicium 24 or a plurality of indicia 24 may wrap the spiral wound paper product 10 from the XY surface to either or both ends 20.
- Such an indicium 24 forms a continuum between two perpendicular planes, a first plane corresponding to the end 20 of the product 10 and a second plane corresponding to the XY plane defined by and tangent to the end 20 of the product 10 at any particular point. This arrangement allows for coordination of the indicia 24 throughout the entire product 10.
- the functional or aesthetic indicia 24 may wrap the end 20 of the spiral wound paper product 10 from the XY surface to the inner circumference of the core 14 or to the inner circumference of the innermost sheet if a coreless embodiment is selected.
- This arrangement provides for a further continuum of aesthetic indicia 24.
- This arrangement may also be used to provide for a dry-strength resin to be applied to the core 14 if a functional indicia 24 is selected.
- indicia 24 may be nonrepeating throughout the length of the spiral wound paper product 10.
- the length of the spiral wound paper product 10 may vary from 15 meters or less to 36 meters or more.
- the indicia 24 may be functional in addition to or instead of providing an aesthetic benefit. By functional, it is meant that the indicia 24 performs a useful function not limited to being visually discernible.
- the ends 20 of the paper product 10 may be marked so that the consumer knows when a particular number of sheets (or amount of indeterminate length product 10) is left before the product 10 is exhausted.
- the ends 20 of the last few (e.g., three or seven) sheets may be provided with a differently colored indicium 24.
- one or both ends 20 of the spiral wound product 10 may be provided with radial sheet count indicia 24.
- the radial sheet count indicia 24 provides an ongoing monitor of the number of sheets left before the product 10 is exhausted. This is particularly beneficial since spiral wound product 10 life is a nonlinear function of the diameter.
- a plurality of radial indicia 24 may be disposed on either or both ends 20 of the spiral wound product 10.
- the indicia 24 may provide for adhesive contact of the transverse edges of each sheet relative to a radially adjacent sheet.
- the adhesive provides the benefit of reduced telescoping or coning during winding, shipment and handling. Additionally, the adhesive applied to the ends 20 of the product 10 would prevent undesirable unwinding of a spiral wound paper product 10 dispensed from a vertical axis dispenser. Such an arrangement retains the benefit that less adhesive is necessary to achieve the benefits of the claimed invention, reducing manufacturing cost while still allowing the paper product 10 to remain soft and absorbent.
- an adhesive functional indicium 24 prophetically obviates the need for and expense of a tail seal on the free end of the outermost sheet of the spiral wound product 10.
- the functional indicia 24 may comprise microencapsulation or other means to provide a scent which is activated upon dispensing.
- the functional indicia 24 may provide for increased absorption of the product 10.

- only two oppositely disposed sides, two adjacent sides, or all four sides of a rectangularly shaped product 10 provided in discrete sheet form may have the functional indicia, such as the absorbent gelling material, disposed thereon.
- Exemplary absorbent gelling materials include Nalco 1180 available from Stockhausen, Inc. of Greensboro, North Carolina and ASAP 2300 available from Chemdal, Corp. of Palatine, Illinois.
- the absorbent gelling material may be printed on and in situ polymerized.
- a suitable technique for accomplishing such an application of the absorbent gelling material, or other appropriate functional indicia, to the ends 20 of the product 10 is disclosed in commonly assigned U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,487,736, issued Jan. 30, 1996 to Phan; 5,547,747, issued Aug. 20, 1996 to Trokhan et al.; 5,549,928, issued Aug. 27, 1996 to Trokhan et al.; and 5,840,403, issued Nov. 24, 1998 to Trokhan et al., all incorporated herein by reference.
- the dispensable product 10 may be provided in a cut-and-stack configuration.
- a cut-and-stack configuration the dispensable product 10 is disposed in a package and dispensed therefrom through an opening.
- the opening may be disposed on one or more faces of the package. The consumer may either reach into the opening of the package to dispense the product 10 therefrom, or dispense the product 10 in a pop-up mode.
- the package may be rigid or flaccid. If the package is flaccid, it may be made in accordance with commonly assigned PCT Application No. 98/38105 filed Feb. 28, 1997 in the names of Hill, et al.; U.S. 4,886,167 issued Dec. 12, 1989 to Dearwester; 5,027,582 issued July 2, 1991 to Dearwester; 5,379,897 issued Jan. 10, 1995 to Muckenfuhs; 5,685,428 issued Nov. 11 , 1997 to Herbers, et al.; 5,735,106 issued April 7, 1998 to Burda, et al., which are incorporated herein by reference.
- the package may be provided with transparent windows. This allows aesthetic indicia 24 disposed on the ends 20 of the dispensable product 10 disposed in the package to be visible through the windows of the package.
- such products 10 are disposed in a parallelelpidedally-shaped package having two pairs of oppositely-disposed ends 20 arranged in a rectangular cross- section.
- One pair of oppositely-disposed ends 20 may be provided with the indicia 24, both pairs may be so provided, or adjacent ends 20 perpendicularly disposed relative to each other may be provided with the indicia 24.
- each clip of the dispensable product 10 may be provided with different aesthetic indicia 24 on the ends 20.
- the aesthetic indicia 24 would then be visible through the transparent windows and selected by the consumers according to their tastes.
- the cut-and-stack arranged dispensable product 10 may be provided with a functional indicium 24 disposed on one or more ends 20 of the product 10 as described above.
- One prophetically suitable functional indicium 24 comprises adhesive. The adhesive, properly disposed on the ends 20 of the product 10, may allow for pop-up dispensing of sequential sheets of the dispensable product 10.
- successive facial tissues could prophetically be dispensed in the pop-up mode if adhesively joined together at the edges.
- a suitable adhesive is supplied by the Findley Adhesives Inc. of Wauwatosa, Wisconsin as H9087-05, although it is envisioned that a variety of hot melt and pressure-sensitive adhesives would be suitable as known in the art. This arrangement provides the benefit of pop-up dispensing without the expense of interleaving adjacent sheets of tissue or other dispensable products 10 provided in discrete sheet form.
